Abstract (en)

[origin: US2007040575A1] In one embodiment, NMOS transistors have their source coupled to a common source node such that the NMOS transistors conduct a leakage current if the common source node is grounded. To reduce this leakage current, the common source node is raised in potential. Similarly, PMOS transistors have their source coupled to a common source node such that the PMOS transistors conduct a leakage current if the common source node is charged to a power supply voltage VDD. To reduce this leakage current, the common source node is lowered in potential.
